My interest in cricket spiked after my interest in AFL plummeted, so I needed an outlet and I found it after a quick google search. For some reason I didn't post for about 6 months after my first but I'm quickly making up for lost time. Tis good fun to watch cricket and post in match threads at the same time, plus like Dan I find it an excellent procrastination tool.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

I can't remember. I used to chat cricket on the Sports Interactive boards but I think I wound up here because I wanted a forum dedicated to cricket. Plus most of the cricket fans on the SI boards were spackers.

Think it was because I spent one New Year so ill I couldn't do much bar sit with a bucket by my PC and play either Football Manager or ICC (bit like the rest of my time at uni, but with less booze and more sick). Was that bored in the house on my own (everyone else had gone home for New Year, but I'd stayed at the house) I needed people to talk to, and wanted to find some hints and tips on ICC - This place had the liveliest ICC section (think I signed up for PC around the same time, never use it though)

I came back from Europe broke so I went back to live with my parents for a bit. I was really keen to save as much money as possible, so found it much easier to save by chatting about sport instead of going out. Cricket and Rugby League have always been my passion but it was the start of the League season in like 2006 so I found a league forum which I liked during the league year, but found the cricket thread on the site a little boring. Prince EWS was on that League site and mentioned CW, so yeah blame him.
